Military aviation includes any use of aircraft by a country's military, including such areas as transport, training, disaster relief, border patrol, search and rescue, surveillance, surveying, peacekeeping, and (very rarely) aerial warfare. For military aviation based on ships such as aircraft carriers, the term Naval aviation is sometimes used.
